I got multiple people to sign up for paid Clay programs over the last month or so. How do I become certified as an expert?
Based on the available options, there are two main paths to becoming a certified Clay expert: 1. Clay Bootcamp (6-week program): β’ This is a comprehensive training program that helps you master Clay in 6 weeks β’ Includes one-on-one training trusted by Clay and top agencies β’ Features mentorship from successful Claygency CEOs β’ Costs between 6K 2. Clay Creators Program: β’ This program is for those who are already knowledgeable in Clay β’ Requirements include: β’ Active engagement with the product β’ Regular content creation on social platforms (especially LinkedIn) β’ Having an audience focused on marketers, sales, and ops β’ Experience using Clay with clients or in GTM motionsSimply referring customers to Clay doesn't automatically qualify you for expert certification. To become a certified expert, you'll need to go through one of these formal programs to ensure you have the necessary expertise and training.
